There is no clean way to do this in general. This is because the components in general could be running in other contexts, for instance, in a remote machine, not the same JVM, etc. There is a way to share Java objects among annotators running in the same machine, using external resources; see http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.2-incubating/docs/html/tutorials_and_users_guides/tutorials_and_users_guides.html#ugr.tug.aae.accessing_external_resource_files While that specifically addresses creating a Java object and then "loading" it from an external file, the loading part is optional.
